I am going on the record. I am going to show commitment. I am going to RIDE MY BIKE to work every day that it is possible. And I am going to find that it is more possible than I ever imagined.
I am very lucky in this regard.
1. I live just over four miles from work
2. There are NO, ABSOLUTELY NO, cumbersome hills between me and my destination
3. I work at a place that embraces casual clothing.
There is no reason for me NOT to ride everyday.
I have purchased rain gear. I have purchased a strobing front light and two strobing red lights.I have the most kick-ass gloves known to man. I need the exercise and spend time chasing it, when it is right in front of me everyday.
I have one other luxury. Currently we own three cars. I am leaving the truck down at the shop as an emergency vehicle. If there are monsoon rains, hurricane winds.. I have an out. If I need to travel on business during the day..I have a ride.
Yeah...that's right...I got it all figured out.
I can do this.

So far, so good.
You have gotten past the hardest part, which was forcing yourself to set the alarm for the time you actually need to get up instead of for 45 minutes earlier so you can just go back to sleep and wake up 90 minutes later.
If you want to succeed, you need to get your ass out of bed (I did not say aloud, mouth the words or mentally utter "fat ass") and face the day.
Like me, a shining example of the kind of get-up-and-go attitude that forged America.
